Easily, one of the 10 best tracks of the decade...Awesome performance here by a very young VW. All they do is keep getting better, it's been an incredible ride thus far, keep it coming boys, much love, from your neighbor down in Philly.
It must be so fucking hard to pick a song to play on a show like this or whatever where they have one opportunity to show everyone who they are since their music is so diverse u can't put a pin on it.
I think certain people are having a hard time appreciating the relaxing trip they turned this song into. It's mellow and melodic, and sounds great at cruising speeds over the dashboard speakers.
my favorite part is how the whole band is so chill and relaxed looking except the drummer. I mean, that's not an insult, it's just kind of funny how obviously into it he is. I'd be like that too if I were playing the song. It's relaxing but just feels so badass to drum.
The song makes me homesick any time I listen to it. Hi Rostam good job also thanks your mom on my behalf (little friend) for the great cookbook she published that able me to make Persian food for my kids and American wife specially the baklava, thank you.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Music was not made to 'rock'. It was made to feel. Iggy Pop certainly did his part on the feeling, as does Vampire Weekend. Their first album is one of joy, catchiness, and wit, just like the poets of old. I can understand if you arent a big fan of this stuff, but dont call them 'faggots'. Even though Rostam is gay doesnt mean i dislike him, he writes good songs with Ezra, and is a wonderful keyboardist. Just look at Osaka Loop Line and Diplomat's S
7 years late....but, I'm not sure I get your point when you claim music was not made to rock? Who is anyone to define what music has to be made for? Music can be made to be enjoyed for whatever purpose, therein lies the beauty of musical expression; it doesnt have to follow any rules.

i found this cd at my library last year... i love when i'm totally taken aback by a new artist.. it's really rare these days. if you haven't heard of Mogwai, be sure to check them out. Rock Action-my fav album. but they're all good.
Man, if I would see those 4 "nerds" on the street I would not even notice them - but due to the fact that they rocked the shit out of this song with Vampire fucking Weekend, they now sparkle!
rostam has such beautiful backing vocals. I'm seeing them live in 7 days!!!!
It’s been 11 years but how was it?
How was the show
He's also a fine Producer.
Seeing them in concert twice this weekend in Berkeley! Granted, without Rostam.
Vampire Weekend pretty much restored my faith in music.
Best release of '08 hands down.
amazing. the drummer is really going for it on such a slow song
The girl playing the violin looked like she was having fun :) I love watching people play violin. They're always so energetic and graceful-looking

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard....:-)

This is the best arrangement of this song that I've heard so far. Good job Vampire Wkd, NBC and the C.O'Brian show directors!
This song is incredibly poetic and full of beauty... adore 😍
It sure is!
She nailed that violin solo. She's amazing.
Oh I remember watching this in 2020 now its 2050 and every one is dead except me and my computer

@@Honeygrahams Don't think you knew the worst of it lol
I love Ezra's high notes
I love the little bit of “raw” sound when he hits the apex of his range
Man, this is like one of the best songs i've heard for 10 years.
I love this 💜🎻🎧
In my opinion one of their best songs
I'm in love with Koenig's guitar.
Vampire Weekend ! Bring back your violinists in your next album(s) PLEASE !
Xander Lanister geniussss!
How any body can dislike this blows my mind. These dudes are FANTASTIC.
one of their best imo
One of my favorite songs rn! It’s 2023. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I love cona,n he doesnt only shake the hands of the singer, he talks to the whole band.
I love it every damn time I watch it

Amazing closer to the album.. the strings section is a really nice touch.

The ending sequence has infinite replayability.. never gets old
These Guys Are Gonna Go Far! I Can Feel It
+Cristian Jimenez you're being ironic right?

Cristian Jimenez that song came out almost a decade ago...
Dude, still gets my motor running. It’s 2021

they did an amazing job, great performance
me encanta este pinche grupo, es de lo mejor es de lo mejor !!!
Agree, Love this type of music.
That floor tom sounds so good!
I've never seen CT get so into a song
LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!! underatet band
love love love the viola solo
Man this was the 1st time I ever heard of Vampire Weekend and I loved it THANK YOU COCO! ;D
i had never heard of them... but saw them on conan and bought the cd IMMEDIATELY... they are awesome... and i'm not even a big indie rock fan
they are so great!!!!
i like rostam's scarf. it's so badass. and only keyboardists can pull it off. kudos to rostam and cheers to having been introduced to these dudes.
Love the band! and the new album
i love this band so much...they should go to germany....i bet they love them
Just like heaven!

is it just me or is the viola solo the hottest thing
Agreed. It's amazing what a studio full of electronics and instruments can do. And, quite possibly most artists get worn out on tour.
SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO GOOD!!! Horchata is amazing..
really, really great.
da krie ick jensehaut!
the bass player has some nice moves
The song makes me homesick any time I listen to it. Hi Rostam good job also thanks your mom on my behalf (little friend) for the great cookbook she published that able me to make Persian food for my kids and American wife specially the baklava, thank you.
Love them more than babies.

the drummer is loving that shit. great song!

Love it. Can't wait to see them
VW IS AWEEEEEESOMEEE!!
i think the guy playing the cello is the same guy from the acoustic sessions they did w/juliard trained musicians.
now that you pointed it out, you're right!
We’re trapped inside the matrix the kids don’t stand chanc I spelled chance wrong on purpose for copyright reasons
I might see them soon.!!!!
anyone who knows early XTC..this will remind you! love it!
More talented than people who don't wear scarves inside most of the time. Count it.
if you like vampires - you'll love badlovecomedy xx spread the love
@Chandlerkg11 very agreed. these guys are just good musicians. they can incorporate a lot of awesome sounds and instruments!
Talent level was never in question here.
This is the best comment ever!!!!!
great song.. listen to the miike snow remix of it... golden
Awesome.
Lyrics:
A devastating backstroke
All the way from France
With shiny, shiny cufflinks
A shirtsleeve to enhance
The pin-striped men of morning
Are coming for to dance
With pure Egyptian cotton
The kids don't stand a chance
You criticize the practice
By murdering their plants
Ignoring all the history
Denying them romance
The pin-striped men of morning
Are coming for to dance
Forty-million dollars
The kids don't stand a chance
I didn't like the business
But that was at first glance
Your pillow feels so soft now
But still you must advance
The pin-striped men of morning
The partners in the dance
The paper's shot to pieces
The kids don't stand a chance
that violin solo was fucking impressive.
I love this sooong!
I fucking love this band!
THE DRUMMER IS A BOPPIN' BADASS
25 kids dont stand a chance
the scarf indoors says it all
so damn good live
Solid musicianship
this is fucking good music
i found this cd at my library last year... i love when i'm totally taken aback by a new artist.. it's really rare these days. if you haven't heard of Mogwai, be sure to check them out. Rock Action-my fav album. but they're all good.
Now 13 years later, this sentence reads away very old fashoned
so sick !!!!
i would trip someone to sit by that stunning violinist in class...and I'm not like that.
@danielodyssey he was a character in a movie the singer made that their band is named after
Man, if I would see those 4 "nerds" on the street I would not even notice them - but due to the fact that they rocked the shit out of this song with Vampire fucking Weekend, they now sparkle!
What the fuck man? You expect the drummer be sat there like a fuckin' zombie. He's feelin' it ;)
Can't believe this is what people expect me to respect; can't believe we can be expected to consider this good music
@bmpsound4 well done for correcting my error. im very impressed, you must be a musical genius for spotting that mistake.
VIOLA rocks! :D
Absolutely love this song - just haven't got a flipping clue what the words mean!
@emoxgal123 actually its a violinist, a violist is somebody who plays the viola.
Fuck yeah viola solo! Glad we're being represented somewhere. :)
my dad said the same thing from day one!
Haha! Thanks. :)
